There are unrealized gaps between the rate of implementation or operation and the effective use of cloud security access brokers within the enterprise, according to a global Cloud Security Alliance survey of more than 200 IT and security professionals from a variety of organization sizes and locations.
"CASB solutions have been underutilized on all the pillars but in particular on the compliance, data security, and threat protection capabilities within the service," said Hillary Baron, lead author and research analyst, Cloud Security Alliance.
The paper found that while nearly 90% of the organizations surveyed are already using or researching the use of a CASB, 50% don't have the staffing to fully utilize cloud security solutions, which could be remediated by working with top CASB vendors.
More than 30% of respondents reported having to use multiple CASBs to meet their security needs and 34% find solution complexities an inhibitor in fully realizing the potential of CASB solutions.
Additional findings 83% have security in the cloud as a top project for improvement.
